2008 Best Book for Young Adults


Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin


Naomi is sixteen years old and is living with amnesia. She fell down a flight of stairs which caused some brain injuries and therefore cannot remember the past four years of her life. She can't remember one of the rockiest moments of her life, her parents' divorce. Her two best friends are strangers to her because she can't remember them at all. However, she remember James, the first person she saw after her fall. This image of James that she sees is what helps her sort out her past and her feelings of living with this memory loss. This was amazing book. It dealt with loss, challenges, and making new a life which made it all more interesting.
